bzip2/lzma: make config machinery an arch configurable
Impact: Bug fix (we should not show this menu on irrelevant architectures) Make the config machinery to drive the gzip/bzip2/lzma selection dependent on the architecture advertising HAVE_KERNEL_* so that we don't display this for architectures where it doesn't matter.

The linux kernel is a kind of self-extracting executable.
Several compression algorithms are available, which differ
in efficiency, compression and decompression speed.

Its compression ratio and speed is intermediate.
- Decompression speed is slowest among the 3.
- The kernel size is about 10 per cent smaller with bzip2,

- Bzip2 uses a large amount of memory. For modern kernels
